"Nine men are being held over an alleged terrorist plot to carry out an Iraqi-style kidnapping of a British Muslim soldier... It could have mirrored the kidnappings of the British hostages Ken Bigley and Margaret Hassan by Iraqi insurgents." Muslim soldier 'kidnap plot' foiled

In connection with the kidnapping of Margaret Hassan, Kurt Nimo wrote:

"More than a few of the kidnappings in Iraq appear to be CIA, military intelligence, or Mossad operations. For instance, when Simona Pari and Simona Torretta of the Italian humanitarian organization Bridge to Baghdad were kidnapped recently, witnesses described the kidnapping as 'extremely professional' and said a well-dressed man wearing a suit and tie had led the operation, according to the Guardian.... why are so many kidnappings directed against humanitarian organizations, obviously not the preferred target of a resistance determined to drive the United States out of Iraq? It simply does not make sense—unless the kidnappings and bombings are designed to foment chaos and portray the resistance as murderous nihilists and cold-blooded criminals." http://www.williambowles.info/spysrus/cia_mossad.html

The video of 'Hassan's execution' was suddenly produced at the time when the USA was being accused of genocide in Fallujah.

British accusations that the Libyan Government was responsible were incorrect. Yvonne Fletcher was assassinated on the direct orders of the American CIA in a coldly calculated 'Psyop' (Psychological Operation) designed to generate intense British hatred against Libya. The operation was a complete success. Two years later when the US used British air bases to launch a vicious bombing attack on Libyan civilians, only a handful of British voices were raised in protest." The 'Perfect' CIA Assassination

In the book 'The Committee - Political Assassination In Northern Ireland', Sean McPhilemy wrote:

"In 1991, I obtained evidence that the Royal Ulster Constabulary [RUC], the British Government's police force in Northern Ireland, was secretly running 'death squads.' Senior RUC officers were helping a then unknown terrorist organisation -- 'the Committee' - to assassinate Republicans, Nationalists and innocent Catholics in an effort to block any moves towards a united Ireland.

"These revelations were contained in a documentary, shown on British television, in which an anonymous member of this Committee testified publicly about the murder conspiracy. He admitted that his Committee, which was composed of fifty to sixty people drawn exclusively from the Ulster Protestant community, was using two professional assassins, known as "The Jackal" and "King Rat," to kill those deemed to be "enemies of Ulster." The two assassins, he said, were routinely guided to their targets by the police. And that, he boasted, was the reason why these murders would forever remain officially 'unsolved."'

In the case of Lumumba, US President Eisenhower had ordered his assassination, but according to the CIA, Lumumba's domestic enemies got to him before the CIA's hit-men could kill him.William Blum lists 42 successful and not-so-successful assassinations by the CIA and other US agencies in his outstanding expose Killing Hope: US Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II (Monroe, ME: Common Courage Press, 1995).

Leonora Piper touched the gold watch that Robert had been sent and was then able to name the twin brothers and relate a story from their childhood about a near drowning and the killing of a cat; only the twins would have known these stories.

On other occasions, Leonora Piper was able to:

(1) name the father of a man who was presented to her nameless and with his face hooded,

(2) tell people where to find things they didn't even know were lost,

(3) give accurate information about someone after having been given a lock of hair by a visitor who didn't know whose head it had come from.

Remarkably there was once a 'three-way psychic relay between Piper in London, a classics lecturer who practiced "automatic" (spirit-directed) writing in Cambridge and (strangely enough) a sister of writer Rudyard Kipling who also did automatic writing in Calcutta, India. Instructions communicated via Piper in Greek and Latin (she knew neither language) seemed to have been understood by the entities communicating via the classics lecturer and the lady in India.'

British military intelligency created murder gangs (death squads) in Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom.

Reportedly, military intelligence removed the police and army from the areas in which the gangs were operating, to allow the gangs to carry out their murders and escape.

According to the Herald, an agent called JB claims he carried out around 50 operations approved by the Military Reconnaissance Force (MRF), the British army unit which ran agents in Northern Ireland.

According to the Herald, JB claims military intelligence instructed 'loyalists' to plant explosives; reportedly, one result was the bomb in McGurk's Bar in Belfast in 1971; this killed 15 men, women and children.

Reportedly, the day before Bloody Sunday, JB was at a training session at Palace Barracks, where he was told by a major: 'We are hoping to provoke a confrontation with the IRA in Derry...'

JB referred to a number of atrocities sponsored by the British army's MRF. These included:

1. the shooting of three members of the Miami Showband, a popular Irish group, in 1975.

2. the Dublin and Monaghan bombings of 1974, which killed 33 people.

3. the murder of a taxi driver, an eight-year-old girl, various men walking alone in Catholic areas and a Catholic woman in a bomb blast at public toilets in Lurgan.

Google, owner of YouTube and Blogger, has a problem.

Google makes its money from adverts.

Many big advertisers do not like their adverts to appear on sites containing content which is critical of the elite, big business, Israel, the Pentagon, the nuclear industry and so on.

Google has a choice.

Either (1) it reduces support for free speech by making life difficult for the YouTubers and Bloggers who produce 'political' content

Or (2) it loses some advertising.

If Google reduces support for free speech, it is likely to become less popular with at least a section of the public. Some of the public may eventually switch to rival sites.

If rival sites get their act together, Google could eventually become less profitable.

Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury, was the Protestant brains behind the Gunpowder Plot.Was the Gunpowder plot an inside-job? Cecil was the King's chief minister. Catesby was one of the 'terrorists'.

On his death-bed, there were statements by Robert Catesby's servant that Cecil and Catesby, one of the main Gunpowder Plotters, met on three separate occasions in the period leading up to the events of the night of 5 November 1605.

Many historians believe that:

1. James I's Protestant spymaster, Robert Cecil, was the brains behind the Gunpowder Plot.

2. Some of the Gunpowder plotters were working for Cecil.

The story goes that Cecil manufactured the plot in an attempt to discredit the Catholic cause.

In the climate of fear following the Gunpowder Plot, Cecil and his supporters were able to pass more anti-Catholic laws and to make more money from fines on Catholics.

Cecil was in a position to destroy Catholic rivals, such as the Earl of Northumberland, and had an opportunity to seize Catholic lands.

The official story of the gunpowder plot does not make sense.

The 'confessions' were obtained under torture.

Why would the Catholic plotters have wanted to blow up parliament when it housed not only Protestants but also all the country's leading Catholics?

Elizabeth, James' protestant daughter, was was due to take over, if the plotters succeeded. Why would the Catholic plotters want Elizabeth on the throne?

The government had a monopoly on gunpowder and it was stored in places like the Tower of London. How did the conspirators get hold of 36 barrels of gunpowder without drawing attention to themselves?

How was the gunpowder moved across London from the Tower of London to Westminster (at least two miles distant) without anyone seeing it?

The River Thames would not have been used as it could have lead to the gunpowder becoming damp and useless. Thirty six barrels would have been a sizeable quantity to move without causing suspicion.

Why were men who were known to be Catholics allowed to rent out a house so near to the Houses of Parliament?

How did they move 36 barrels from that house to the cellar of the Houses of Parliament without anyone noticing?

Why, for the first time in history, was there a search of Parliament's cellars that conveniently found Guy Fawkes.

Why was the soldier who killed Catesby and Percy at Holbeech House in the Midlands, given such a large pension for life (10p a day for life) when their arrest and torture was more desirable so that the names of any other conspirators might be found out?

On 19 January 1980, the International Herald Tribune reported that the Shah had said, two years before he was overthrown, that he had heard from two different sources connected with oil companies that the regime in Iran would change. ‘We believe that there was a plan to ensure less oil was offered to the world markets in order to bring about a price,’ said the Shah. ‘One country was to be chosen for the sacrifice..It seems that the country chosen to drop its oil production was mine.’webgardian: Shah:Oil Companies Helped to Oust Him

The Shah's nationalist policies worried the CIA and MI6. The Shah signed petroleum agreements with ENI, the Italian oil company. In 1963 the Shah pushed forward popular reforms known as the White Revolution. Opium production was ended. There was a nuclear programme. The Shah seemed like a nationalist Nasser and the Anglo-Americans wanted him out.

(Sources used in the article: The Biography of Dr. Mohammad Mossadegh, jebhemelli.orgKilling Hope - U.S. Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II, William Blum, 1995MI6 - Inside the Covert World of Her Majesty's Secret Intelligence Service, Stephen Dorril, 2000)

Prior to World War II, British Intelligence cultivated ties with the Brotherhood through agent Freya Stark, the British adventurer and writer... The Muslim Brotherhood spread throughout the Muslim world and has evolved into something like a Muslim equivalent of the West's Masonic brotherhood..."According to CIA agent Miles Copeland, the Americans began looking for a Muslim Billy Graham around 1955... When finding or creating a Muslim Billy Graham proved elusive, the CIA began to cooperate with the Muslim Brotherhood, the Muslim mass organization founded in Egypt but with followers throughout the Arab Middle East... This signalled the beginning of an alliance between the traditional regimes and mass Islamic movements against Nasser and other secular forces." (Blum)

The most noteworthy success of the Islamic movement during this time was of course the overthrow of the Shah of Iran and the installation of the Ayatollah Khomeini as the Islamic dictator. British Intelligence had used their contacts with Iran's mullahs and ayatollahs to help overthrow Mossadegh and install the Shah back in 1953, and these contacts were maintained and used again to overthrow the Shah when his regime fell out of favor.

The Establishment history of Iran's Islamic Revolution is that Khomeini's revolt was spontaneous and populist, and that it overthrew a repressive dictatorship that was hated by the people but supported wholeheartedly by the United States. It is true that the Shah's government was not a democracy and that his secret service, trained by the CIA, was one of the most effective intelligence organizations in the world.

But what is not reported is that prior to the British-sponsored massive public relations campaign on behalf of the Ayatollah the government of the Shah was loved by the vast majority of the population.

After taking over from Mossadegh the Shah began to push forward a number of nationalist policies that increased his popularity at home but, in some cases, worried the Anglo-American Establishment.

First, he signed petroleum agreements with ENI, the Italian oil company.

Then in 1963 he pushed forward on a series of popular reforms that became known as the White Revolution.

The Shah evolved into a nationalist whose path paralleled that of Nasser far too much for the Establishment's liking:

- He bought land from the upper classes and, along with the crown's own land, sold it back cheaply to tenant farmers, allowing over one a half million people to become land owners and ending the old feudal system.

- He allowed women the right to vote, and brought an end to the wearing of the veil, which were "Westernizing" moves unwelcomed by the religious sector.

- He pushed forward on a $90 billion nuclear power program.

- He moved to shut down the lucrative opium industry that had been created during the days of British Empire control that had been running for a hundred years....

The attack on the Shah's government came through the Muslim Brotherhood and through the mullahs and ayatollahs of Iran, supported and manipulated by British Intelligence...

Dr. John Coleman, a former British Intelligence agent... states in his report on Iran's Islamic Revolution (11) that the Muslim Brotherhood was created by "the great names of British Middle East intelligence" ...and that their mission was to "keep the Middle East backward so that its natural resource, oil, could continue to be looted..."

Dr. Coleman writes that in 1980 the broadcasts of Radio Free Iran divided the enemies of the Shah into four categories: 1. Iranian politicians bought by the Israeli Shin Bet, 2. The CIA's network of agents, 3. The feudal landowners, 4. The Freemasons and the Muslim Brotherhood (viewed as the same enemy).

In his report Dr. Coleman writes that in Iran, "At one time there was even a joke about the mullahs being stamped 'made in Britain.'" When the Shah introduced his plan for modernization in 1963 the Ayatollah Khomeini emerged as the leader of the religious opposition. Up until his exile from Iran in 1964, Khomeini was based at the religious city of Qom. Dr. Coleman relates that Radio Free Iran claimed that while at Qom Khomeini received a "monthly stipend from the British, and he is in constant contact with his masters, the British."

On February 1st, 1979, two weeks after the Shah's departure, Khomeini made a triumphant return to Iran. The BBC's John Simpson was on the plane that carried him back from Paris. aangirfan: BBC links to MI6?

The Kincora Affair was about the sexual abuse of young boys in Kincora boys home in Belfast. "Loyalist paramilitary leader William McGrath, who had links to British intelligence, was believed to have organised sex sessions with young boys for SENIOR POLITICIANS, civil servants and MILITARY personal."

"The Kincora Scandal first broke on 3 April 1980 when three staff members of the Kincora Boys Home, Belfast, were charged with acts of gross indecency. Allegations continued to be made that elements of the security service, civil servants and a number of Loyalists had been involved in the abuse of young boys at Kincora." CAIN: Chronology of the Conflict 1982

The following is an extract from an article in Wakeup Magazine (full article at jackgrantham)

"For years, MI5 had been aware of a homosexual vice ring operating within the Kincora Boys Home in East Belfast, which was run by William McGrath, a notorious homosexual and leader of a strongly anti-Communist paramilitary organisation called Tara.

"McGrath was also a member of the Orange Order and of Ian Paisley's Free Presbyterian Church and was employed by MI5 since the mid 1960s.

"Amongst various other Loyalist members of the homosexual ring were John McKeague, who ran the Loyalist paramilitary organisation, the Red Hand Commandos, which was involved in many sectarian killings.

"When Loyalists threatened the Ulster Workers Council strike as a means of bringing down the power-sharing executive (the alliance of moderate Protestants and Catholic created by the Heath Government), Colin Wallace was instructed to leak intelligence reports on Kincora (as part of a project code-named Clockwork Orange 2) to put pressure on key people who MI5 believed had influence over the Loyalists.

"However, after a short time Wallace was told to stop 'because London had a change of mind and wanted the Ulster Workers Council Strike to succeed. I later discovered that this new strategy was part of the overall policy to discredit Harold Wilson in that the Sunningdale Agreement was a Conservative initiative and was now being seen to fail under Labour.'

"MI5 agent James Miller had infiltrated the UDA in the early 1970s, becoming one of its leading intelligence officers. He later revealed that senior MI5 officers had ordered him in early 1974 to 'get UDA men at grass roots level to start pushing for a strike. So I did.'

"So, MI5 allowed the ill-treatment and sexual abuse of residents at the Kincora Boys Home to continue; the Loyalist strike was allowed to proceed and there was a complete breakdown of law and order. The province was virtually taken over by Loyalist paramilitary organisations.

"Two days into the strike, Loyalist paramilitaries exploded car bombs in Dublin and Monaghan, killing thirty three civilians.

"The Loyalists responsible were members of the outlawed Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), some of whom were acting as undercover agents for Military Intelligence. The explosives, training and planning for the mission were given by the SAS. Key suspects known to the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) were never questioned about the massacre."

Reportedly, in the middle of World War II, Allen Dulles, later to become CIA director, secretly met Nazi SS leaders and gave them virtually the entire American battle plan for Europe.Patterns of Force

After World War II - "In West Germany... the new Chancellor was Konrad Adenauer who collaborated with the Nazis as Mayor of Cologne. His Secretary of State was Hans Globke who, as head of the Office of Jewish Affairs under Hitler, drafted the lethal anti-Jewish laws which paved the way for the Final Solution. And Reinhard Gehlen, who had been Hitler's chief of intelligence on the Eastern Front (the Soviet Union), eventually became head of West German intelligence after having first worked with the U.S. government at the Pentagon."Toward An American Revolution - c5( by Jerry Fresia)

Death Squads and drugs - "Gehlen was just one of 5,000 SS and Gestapo Nazis who, with the assistance of key U.S. government officials like Dulles, were able to find safe refuge outside of Germany. Many of the most sadistic killers such as Josepf Mengele were protected by the United States in their effort to escape justice. Many would develop links with neo-fascist elements in the military or interior ministries of Latin American countries (particularly in Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina, and Peru) and collaborate with the CIA in repressive operations against the Left. And many found their way into the U.S. intelligence system, including, for a time, Adolf Eichmann and Klaus Barbie. Peter Dale Scott concludes that one legacy of the U.S.-Nazi collaboration 'is the system of Death Squads now operative in Central America. Another has been the involvement of men like Barbie and their political clients in the highly organized Latin American drug traffic.''' Toward An American Revolution - c5

Between 1915 and the early 1920s, around 1.5 million Armenians died in Turkey, due to the policies of the 'Young Turk' Turkish government.

Why did the Turkish government want to hurt the Armenians?

In 1914, Turkey (the Ottoman Empire) entered the war on the side of Germany (and its allies).

In November 1914, the Turkish (Ottoman) Minister of War, Enver, launched 'a disastrous military campaign' against the Russians in the Caucasus.

Enver blamed the Armenians in the region for siding with the Russians.

The Turkish (Ottoman Empire) War Office had a propaganda campaign to present Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire 'as a liability and threat to the country's security'.

What was the Armenian Genocide?

The Armenian Genocide meant 'the forced mass evacuation and related deaths of hundreds of thousands to over a million Armenians, during the government of the Young Turks from 1915 to 1917 in the Ottoman Turkish Empire'.
